Not exactly, the prussian warfare was all about outmaneuvering the enemy to have local numerical superiority. That way one could pull off relatively short and thus less destructive wars, by for example, capturing vital parts of the enemy nation.
The problem is you have to identify what is vital first. The nazi generals failed to do so in case of the USSR. Ironically Hitler got the right idea about the soviet vital areas. His generals thought that the capital was more important.
Jup, nothing special on the strategy department. The Nazis understood the use of tanks and combine arms warfare sooner than theit initial opposition, of course also methamphetamine.
Much easier outmaneuvering the other side when your soldiers can stay awake for days and march for almost as long.
The general staff did not sleep during the Weimar Period either, the invasion plans the Nazis later used (down to the number of divisions) were formulated back then already. However, the Weimar generals proposed execution during the 1950s.

So it was well known long before Nazis and thus not revolutionary, yes?
